My Top 5 Foods for Fertility

Ooh if I had a Pound/Euro/Dollar for every time I’ve been asked that I’d have a massive pile of coins by now!

Of course, I really think that eating a variety of nutrient-dense foods is the key to a fertility-friendly diet I do have some fave foods that are tasty and provide many of the goodness we need to make and carry a healthy baby.

So, here are my top 5 foods for fertility. They may not be everyone’s choice, but they are mine. BUT they’re in no particular order here …

#1 Nuts and Seeds

My personal addiction is almonds, but I’m talking almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, cashews. And their nut “butters”. And even the oils for drizzling.

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S sources of good fats which we need for a healthy body and mind generally. AND as part of our stash of foods for fertility.

Almonds are a good source of zinc and the all-important FOLATE (folic acid) too which women and men need for baby-making.

Nuts also have Vitamin E which is helpful for women’s fertility and for sperm function in guys.

And what about those seeds? Also top foods for fertility. Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame. flax.

Great for fab fats and Vitamin E. Sunflower seeds have lots of magnesium. And that’s important for female fertility and in pregnancy.

Of course, nuts and seeds are veggie and vegan friendly too.

#2 Beans, Peas and Lentils a.k.a Legumes

The humble legume is not so humble.

They are a great source of folate or folic acid. It’s best known for it’s role in preventing spina bifida but we now know it’s really key for fertility.

Get yours from legumes and also leafy greens, nuts and wholegrains. AND women should supplement when trying to fall pregnant.

Beans, peas and lentils are also protein packed. And eating good quality protein with each meal and snack balances blood, sugar, energy, mood and hormones. Gotta be good, right?

And once again, suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Love those lentils!

#3 Leafy Greens

I know I always say healthy eating is not all about the kale and it ISN’T!

BUT green leafy veggies are packed with goodness. Real fab foods for fertility.

They have folate and Vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is needed for women’s hormones production and balance and for a healthy pregnancy.

It covers ALL the basics you need to know to boost your natural fertility.

It’s for you whether you’ve pee’ed on a gazillion sticks already or you’re just starting to get your head around getting baby fit. Or if you’re choosing IVF.

It’s super easy to access from a link I’ll e mail to you. No-one can see you signed up or see you in the online classroom. Its simple to use. Watch at home or listen on your headphones – totes discreet.
